downrigger fishing

[justin]

has any one ever tried to put a small pulley on a downrigger release so you can let out more line at fishing depth

No, I just reset everything, but its an interesting concept. Are you thinking of having a quick and easy way to pay out more line when fish are boat shy or just to mix things up a little? Quick, better get a prototype and patten together before Scotty reads this thread

well i was thinking you could let out moline and kind of jig it to attract a bite, i think i will try it

Im not sure that would work? How would it release? Cool idea if it works though

 

[justin]

i think i will put a small pulley on a small shaft to put in the release

Sounds like you're re-inventing the old Downjigger.
